We are Lovin’ Summer – Excited For The Month of July!

Leaving June behind and all the activity that comes with graduation and schools letting out, we get to welcome in July and the celebration of our Nations birthday! We the people of the United States get to celebrate our nation’s independence. Happy birthday to the United States of America!!!

July 4th, Independence Day commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. It declared that the thirteen American colonies regarded themselves as a new nation, the United States of America, and were no longer part of the British Empire. It is a blessing to live in the greatest nation on earth! As you go out and celebrate, enjoy all the activities that our community has to offer. For a list of July 4th activities for Prescott and Prescott Valley visit Theresadesoto.com for a community connection.

July is, on average, the warmest month in most of the Northern hemisphere (where it is the second month of summer) and the coldest month in much of the Southern hemisphere (where it is the second month of winter). The average temperature in Prescott in July is an beautiful 89 degrees!! In the Southern hemisphere, July is the seasonal equivalent of January in the Northern hemisphere.

Have a safe and enjoyable July and remember there are events going on all throughout the month for you and your family to enjoy the summer. Whether enjoying summer fun movies at Harkin’s or Movie under the Stars, swimming, parks, the Lakes or any of the events downtown make sure to get out and enjoy “Everybody’s Home Town” where there is something for everyone!
